The Lena-Arena , officially Airberlin World , was a temporary football stadium in the Düsseldorf Arena-Sportpark, which was built by the stadium construction company Nüssli and used by Fortuna Düsseldorf for three home games in the run-up to the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in the ESPRIT arena . The name sponsor of the stadium was the airline Air Berlin . In addition to the sponsor's name, the stadium was nicknamed Lena-Arena, based on the singer Lena Meyer-Landrut , who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 and defended her title in Düsseldorf in 2011 .
history
After the NDR had decided on October 12, 2010 that Düsseldorf and thus the ESPRIT arena would host the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 , an alternative stadium had to be found for the Fortuna. A possible move to Bochum to the Ruhr Stadium or to Leverkusen to the BayArena was not considered an ideal solution and was like a possible expansion of the Paul Janes Stadium , where the second, the U-19 and U-17 teams from Fortuna Düsseldorf their Play home games, discarded.
On January 11th, the city of Düsseldorf awarded the stadium construction company Nüssli the contract to build a mobile stadium on the 43,000 m 2 training area of Fortuna, which is right next to the ESPRIT arena. The city of Düsseldorf rented the stadium until the beginning of June. In addition to three home games won by Fortuna, events as part of the program of the Song Contest, such as a performance by a large children's choir, were held here. From May 16, 2011, the stadium was dismantled again.
